Waveguide-models Information
The waveguide power sensors (excluding Option CFT) measure power
levels from –35 dBm to +20 dBm at frequencies from 26.5 GHz to 50 GHz.
They consist of a multi- stepped coax which adapt the 50
W
thermocouple
impedance to the desired waveguide impedance, and hence provide a very
low SWR up to 40 or 50 GHz.

For B-models power sensors only
•
Removal of D-ring from the sensor assembly will void the warranty.
•
The D-ring that is available on the input connector; located on the sensor is used to
prevent the sensor from being connected to a high power source when an attenuator is
not attached. The sensors must only be connected to the power meter for calibration or
to a high power attenuator for any RF measurements.

•
For B-models power sensors only
. The high power attenuator contains a substrate
of beryllium oxide. Beryllium oxide in powder form ia a hazardous material and
may be harmful to your health if inhaled. Do not perform any operation on the
beryllium oxide that might generate dust.
• Defective attenuator should be returned to Keysight Technologies for proper
disposal.
